Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Time goes by and years roll onward
\nStill in my memory fresh I’ll keep
\nOf that night in Belfast prison
\nUnashamedly I saw men weep<\/p>\n

For the time was fast approaching
\nA lad lay sentenced for to die
\nAnd on the second of September
\nHe goes to meet his God on high<\/p>\n

Now he’s marching to that scaffold
\nHead erect he shows no fear
\nAnd while standing on that scaffold
\nIreland cross he holds so dear<\/p>\n

Now the cruel blow has fallen
\nFor Ireland he has given all
\nHe who in the flower of manhood
\nProudly answered to her call<\/p>\n

Brave Tom Williams we salute you
\nAnd we never shall forget
\nThose who planned your brutal murder
\nWe vow we’ll make them all regret<\/p>\n

And now I say to Irish soldiers
\nIf on Toms path you chance should stray<\/p>\n

By a lad who lies within a prison grave.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
